Kittens play pop

Atomic Kitten rolled back the years to perform Bucks Fizz-style at Party In The Park yesterday.

The all-girl trio whipped off their tops in mid-song at the charity show to reveal skimpy gear underneath.

The Kittens, dressed in black and white, echoed Bucks Fizz's performance in Eurovision 1981, when Cheryl Baker and Jay Aston had their skirts pulled off.

The Liverpool trio were among the top acts at Britain's biggest one-day pop concert in front of 100,000 fans in Hyde Park, London. Other performers included Beyoncè Knowles, Big Brovaz, Girls Aloud, Blazin' Squad, Mel C and Sugababes.

Destiny's Child star Beyoncè - wearing crimson hotpants and blue stilettos - set pulses racing as she shook her booty to her latest No.1 hit, Crazy In Love.

Earlier, veteran rocker Meatloaf caused havoc to the carefully-timed running order when he refused to leave the stage. He should have handed over to former Hear'say singer Kym Marsh but carried on for an extra eight minutes, belting out his hit Bat Out Of Hell.

The organisers turned off his microphone as the song drew to a close.

Afterwards, the heavyweight Texan said: 'If they'd wanted to grab me off the stage, look at me, it would have taken 47,000 of them.'

The gig was organised by London radio station Capital FM in aid of the Prince's Trust.
